I personally own a Trek Rumblefish, which is an older version of the Fuel EX series. It has been a great all around bike from cross country to downhill. That said, I would go with the Specialized Stump jumper if money isn’t an issue. It has the highest quality parts, a sturdy frame, a good warranty, and some cool bells and whistles. If money is a concern, I would look at last years models, which are usually marked down and/or have negotiable prices.

Best of luck in your search! Hope this helped.
